    Need reviews on a light! - Deep Blue Professional SolarFlare - LED light!

    Okay so I did get LED from the store I work at, and it has now been setup 7-9days. The only problem I have encountered is the fact the spread of the LED is short. (I would say 60degree optics perhaps?) In order to get a good spread, the light is hanging 14-16" above my tank (75gallon - 18" wide)...

    Need reviews on a light! - Deep Blue Professional SolarFlare - LED light!

    I decided to google using 460 nm blue leds on plants (these are the blue leds in this fixture) and apparently they work great for plants! I got alot of hits on using 460nm on plants, you just dont want to soley use the blues, as plants need alot of red as well. The fixture (48") has 36 cool...

    Need reviews on a light! - Deep Blue Professional SolarFlare - LED light!

    after many googling tries I found one person looking for a PAR test result on this product. He got this message back from a company rep- While comprehensive performance test results are not back yet, we can tell you that the output of the white LEDs is in the 10,000K range, and the blues...

    Need reviews on a light! - Deep Blue Professional SolarFlare - LED light!

    I know the light is meant for reefs, it has 36x 3w 10k led and 12x 3w blue led.... (48" dx model) I want to upgrade my 48" 4bulb T5HO from Odyssea (the really cheap chinese knockoff) My tank is 75g- 48"x18"x20" complete with a mix of eco-complete and a very similar substrate from an online...

    snakeheads

    the northern snakehead is native to water ways ranging from china to russia I think I read, (not positive). Out of all the snakeheads this one can handle the cold weather here in the potomac during the winter. It is not certain who or why they were released, but I'd say it is along the lines of...

    snakeheads

    the environmentalists always talk on how much damage it COULD do, but besides that... the fact that northern snakehead has the most potential to overthrow the largemouth bass population would be a HUGE no-no to the companies that make billions selling bass fishing gear to anglers.

    snakeheads

    also it is very possible that its too early to tell if in the end the damage they do will be there, like i said- they are still growing in number! But young snakeheads are being eaten by bass/catfish and of course birds of prey (osprey/blue heron/eagles) And the silver carp dont have value to...

    snakeheads

    I dont know much on florida's snakeheads, and by god a 20 lb. largemouth would be a 1 in a billion MONSTER It is common to get a northern snakehead 8+ lb up here in the potomac. yes a DNR officer clearly knows the real danger of the snakeheads' potential to migrate up streams into...

    reticular How fast would a 4" ray grow?

    Check my stock list! lol

    Rechecked the site I read arowana grew to 28" in captivity and it was 38" :duh: Doing a bit more research on the teacup I found that even though they are the smallest of the freshwater rays, the tails are extremely long, which makes them need wider space then I once thought Now I am looking...

    Check my stock list! lol

    I personally hate oscars lol Why get rid of the ray and arowana? This tank is 16 sq feet I mean if the arrowana reaches 28"+ (It is not actually that common to get bigger then that in aquariums) I have a number of places around me to donate him to- 3 of which I can recall right now, National...

    Check my stock list! lol

    The arowana would be starting at a size around 7-8", and a teacup will start at about 4" diameter, and doesn't get bigger (or much bigger) then 14" and they would have a very hard time eating anything over 1.5" (they prefer live blackworms and ghost shrimp) and that is at full size I'm not sure...

    So if anyone remembers me rambling on about me fixing my 72g bowfront and making a spooky tank for my 8" blackghost knifefish--- I decided to take a new route! I bought a 75g, and will put a 49"x19" plywood on the 72g bowfront stand so the 75 will fit. (could not find a used stand, roughly $180...

    Help Blue/green algae

    adding fish will increase nitrates, depending how many/how big. BUT if you have nitrogen fert to dose then do that, test the nitrates and aim for 20-30ppm. after reaching that wait a day and manually remove as much slime as u can via siphon/net... THEN do the erythromicin dosing
